Final 23-man England Squad Revealed: Gareth Barry in, Walcott is out....

Injured Gareth Barry passed his fitness which means he is on the plane to South Africa, however Barry can only play in the latter stages of the Group phase. Barry injured his ankle after Man City's lost to Tottenham.
Yes, Walcott is out even though no one expected it....Walcott blew his chance after a very under-rated England performance against Japan in the 3 Lions' 2-1 win.
Capello even did the hairdryer treatment during halftime to inspire the lackluster squad that night in Austria.


Other causalities: Darren Bent of Sunderland, Leighton Baines of Everton, Michael Dawson and Tom Huddlestone of Tottenham, Scott Parker of West Ham and Adam Johnson of Manchester City.
